I saw a R56 in that area today, looked like a BRG/BRG possibly not sure, I took a quick look it was a MCS R56.

VCR = "Village Coffee Roaster" - This used to be the name for the impromptu car meet, now known as Supercar Sunday.

LOL! You don't know where your weekly meet is? If it was a Sunday, and in Calabasas, and clogged with Ferraris, then I would think it was at VCR.

Spotted a twin on the 405N at around 5pm yesterday! Or maybe it was an "S"? It had a wide white stripe going down the middle of the hatch and some other stuff on the sides. License plate said "MNIFROG".

So I uhh waved (very enthusiastically) to a DS MCS while I was driving back to West LA on the 405N at around 7pm tonight. I got a confused look in return and then I realized that it was because I wasn't driving my MINI.. Geoffrey's at South Bay MINI for service and I was driving a loaner 330ci.

I spotted I think possibly the same R56 BRG/BRG MCS I spotted in City Of Industry a few weeks back again this past weekend, I remember seeing it on Colima, possibly a different car? Either way, spotted a PS/B MC on Grand in Walnut today and spotted a CR/B MC in the West Covina area, I waved no response.

Saw a RG/B MCS JCW probably a 2006 since it had Long Beach MINI dealer plates on it. In Puente Hills Mall, right outside the AMC Movie theater (In the parking lot), had R98 Webspokes on it. Also saw a CR/W MC drive down Valley had Bonnet Stripes and Boot Stripes on it. Looked like it had aftermarket wheels on it. Not driving the MINI so no wave.

Hey, I live in Norwalk- pretty close to Downey!
I'll keep an eye out for Space and/or Hyper Blue.

Just the other morning I saw an HB/B turning onto the 105 from northbound Studebaker. Driver returned my wave.

You didn't cut me off, I let you in! I almost got a car exactly like yours!
I always wave, by the way.

What time in the morning? I drive that way to get to work, and take the 105 at about 7:00am; I see a few Minis there every so often.

I'm usually there around 7:20am.
Yesterday I saw a Hyper Blue convertible in the turn lane about to get on the 105. It was about 5pm.
